Seeing that the fog had completely dissipated, Heisong secretly heaved a sigh of relief, maybe that "Undead Devil Dragon" has solved everything, and others don't need to worry about it, and then he just needs to drink tea and eat snacks with the prince and chat happily. Already...
After entering the mansion, Prince Lanto first noticed something was wrong.
By the high wall, a few servants were busy washing clothes. The servants should rest at this time, why are they so hardworking today
Also, the guards guarding the gate saluted the prince respectfully without even looking at the black pine. Looking at him like a monster, even those knights who had seen him before couldn't help but look sideways... How could the guards in front of the mansion be so calm
The prince found a random person and asked him his name and the team he belonged to. In fact, it is impossible for the prince to know every soldier, he just wanted to see if this person's reaction was normal. The guard replied very politely, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it, but a knight who was following the prince was shocked and immediately drew his sword.
"Your Highness! This person is not Foley from Team Eight! Foley is my brother-in-law's sister's boyfriend's cousin! I have seen him! This person is a fake!"
The imposter quibbled a few words at first, but seeing that he couldn't get away with it, he simply drew his weapon. Not only him, but the nearby guards, watchmen, and laundry workers all surrounded him with weapons. They were holding standard military weapons, probably snatched from real guards.
Heisong calmed down and made a distinction, and sure enough, these people were resurrected corpses. He wanted to take control of the corpse, and was silently figuring out how to do so when the closest corpse burst into flames.
Black Pine screamed. The corpses began to burn one by one, and the flames spread to the weapons in their hands. They slowly narrowed the encirclement and stopped a few steps away from the prince and his subordinates, scorching the living people with suffocating heat waves .
The gate of the mansion opened slowly, and two figures clinging to each other came out. Norad looked out dully, holding a slender red-haired boy in his hand.
No one else had seen that face, only Prince Lanto was impressed by it.
"Are you already dead..." the prince murmured, "Are you a human or a ghost... Have you become an undead?"
"I'm still alive, Your Highness." Rose Green pushed Norad away and took a few steps forward, and the latter followed him reluctantly.
"Your Highness, let's not gossip," Rousey said, "I'm here to negotiate terms with you. If we agree, these corpses will leave your mansion, and your castle will not be disturbed again. "
"Are they still alive?" The prince was referring to those who had been replaced.
"Of course they are still alive. Otherwise, what would I use to make a deal with you? They are very obedient and hardly resist..." As he spoke, Rosey hooked his fingers, and Norad immediately followed obsessively, hugging Rosey from behind, " For I have Ser Nolad, and they dare not play with his life."
"What do you want?" asked the Prince.
Rose pondered for a while, and said, "I want you to trade yourself for this young man."
"What?"
"You come with me and leave Silver Falcon Castle from now on," said Rosey. "I will let your son go, and his mind will return to normal. Anyway, you are getting old, why don't you let your eldest son inherit the lordship?" As long as you follow me, your subordinates and children will be safe."
The sorcerer's eyes glowed with fire, reminiscent of blooming flowers in front of a mountain hut.
"Or, if you really don't want to go, I can take Norad away... Anyway, he likes me. Believe it or not, he liked me before he was affected by the spell. Don't make it difficult, this is the simplest One option, you nod your head, I will immediately disappear with Norad, and all the resurrected corpses in the castle will be evacuated, and then you will slowly find the soldiers and servants caught by me everywhere... How about it? Your Highness , will you bless me and Norad?"
Prince Lanto clenched his fists: "You can hate me, but you shouldn't involve my child! He never hurt you! Don't forget... he is also Snigg's child."
"You still dare to mention her?" Rose said coldly, "If you didn't take care of her properly, she should be as strong and free as me now, instead of being tortured to death by her own power! Our deal has nothing to do with her, Just like your happiness back then had nothing to do with me."
The knights in the circle of fire held their weapons and did not dare to make a sound, they could only look at each other in blank dismay. The topic suddenly brought up the late princess, and it sounded like a completely personal grievance. They were fortunate enough to listen to the prince's privacy... which made people a little embarrassed.
"My lord, what are you doing?" the knight closest to the bone chair whispered.
Black Pine is indeed casting spells secretly, but it will take time. He stared at one of the corpses, his hands folded in his sleeves, the crackling of the flames drowning out the breathless incantation.
The Red Vulture has become younger and more beautiful, but his spellcasting habits should not have changed much. During the Battle of Luoyue Mountains, Heisong was very impressed with this warlock. He has many typical warlock characteristics, such as: all enemies are afraid of fire by default, so they light fire at every turn; when encountering enemies who are not afraid of fire, they use elements to gather The impact force goes up, thinking that the enemy must fall or fly out to be considered successful; when casting spells, he tends to choose a vague range instead of a precise path; he often concentrates on casting a large number of spells with similar effects, but has overdrawn his physical strength after encountering accidents , unable to strain...
Of course, warlocks also have some advantages, but Heisong just doesn't remember what their advantages are.
Don't you like setting fire, then let me help you. Heisong raised the corners of his mouth, having completed the spell.
The corpses suddenly began to sway, and the fire on them burned deeper and more violently, but the flames did not rise high enough to affect the living people surrounded by them. Rose Green just realized that something was wrong. One corpse fell down and was smashed to pieces, and several others also began to lose their support.
Rapid cremation is a common technique of necromancers. It is rarely used in combat, as the prerequisite is that an open flame must first be lit on the corpse. The spell will speed up the incineration process, and nothing else will be burned. The entire cremation process is safe and fast.
After the mage cleared the wall of fire, the territorial knights immediately dispersed and surrounded the warlock in front of the door from different directions. Lindsay immediately raised his hand and drew a sigil, but the impact of the spell was neither directed at the knight nor at the prince, but went towards the black pine.
This is another characteristic of warlocks, especially those who are born in the mountains and have not studied much: no matter what the situation around them is during the battle, they must focus on killing those who have made them suffer...
The black pine rolled off the bone chair, and the chair was blown to pieces. He stood up resentfully, thinking about what other spells could restrain Rousey without hurting the prince's son.
The knights had already surrounded Rosey, but they didn't dare to act rashly. Although Rosey was unarmed, Norad aimed the dagger at his throat.
Rose gently supported Norad's wrist, and undid his cuff buttons. A bloody emblem was engraved on Norad's wrist, which was from the spell that turned the dead into puppets after thirteen days.
"It seems that I have no choice but to take him away," Rosie looked around everyone with a sneer, "I won't kill him casually, I want him to live with me. This emblem is only a last resort. If I need him to die, He will die somewhere quietly, and you can't find his grave after searching the Luoyue Mountains. When he wakes up, he will take the initiative to return to my side."
As he spoke, the warlock chanted a spell and snapped his fingers, and the air around him and Norad shook like water ripples.
"He's going to escape!" Heisong yelled, he wanted to manipulate the chair fragments to fly over to interfere with the warlock, but such a simple spell failed...
Not only him, Rosey's teleportation spell also failed.
The air was rippling for a few seconds, and then everything was back to normal, and nothing happened.
Rosey looked at the black pine in surprise, thinking that the elf had done something. At this moment, Burris' voice came from the gate of the castle...but the voice was not majestic, and a little panting.
"No one can use magic now."
Burris trotted to the Prince's side. This way of appearance was really mediocre. He should use short-distance teleportation to appear directly, but now he can't do it.
"It took me a while to arrange seventy-two interference stones around the castle. All arcane spells will be invalid in the diagonal line between the two interference stones. I divided the seventy-two interference stones as evenly as possible. In this way, a net to suppress all arcane arts appeared in the castle."
The prince, the territorial knight, and Rosey all looked dumbfounded. Only Heisong turned pale with shock: The arcane disturbance stones are man-made products, only the size of pearls, and the price of each one can buy a farm... How much do so many disturbance stones cost? money? The mentor Burris is really willing to spend money on his son!
Interference stones are generally not used in combat, because they can only work within a certain length of diagonal, and the enemy cannot stand still during the battle. It is often found in special buildings, such as some temples. There is also the secret area of the Tower of Truth in the capital of the king, which also hides the net of forbidden demons woven by Interfering Stone. When the caster carried them, they would be in special small pouches so that they would not accidentally disturb themselves or others.
Heisong speculated that the reason why this little mage carried so many interference stones was because his own spellcasting ability was insufficient. If it was the mentor Burris himself, he could cast a huge magic-forbidden field directly outside. Although the casting was slow, it was much faster than burying stones based on the angle.
"Wait... In this way, I can't cast spells either?" Heisong accidentally said.
Burris thought: But I can. When I buried the stone, I calculated the angle based on the terrain, and now I can choose an undisturbed position according to the calculation result... But he didn't say: "It doesn't matter, we don't need to cast spells. The knights in the territory of Silver Falcon Castle are all Well-trained elite warriors, they can completely control the situation without the help of a mage."
These words made the knights feel warm in their hearts. The mage Heisong was not like this in the past. He especially liked to emphasize "how much my magic has helped you"...
Norad regained consciousness slightly, and relaxed the hand holding the dagger. The knight next to him immediately grabbed the dagger and led him away from Rosie. Rose, who had no magic, was quickly subdued by the knights. The whole process only took a few seconds. Prince Lanto nodded in satisfaction.
There was applause from behind, and it was Lott who happily ran in: "The corpses outside have all been disposed of." He stood beside Burris, and Burris took another wet handkerchief for him to wipe his hands, "I put the They're arranged in groups of six for your convenience. These corpses didn't break in, they've been hidden in the city for a while, and everyone probably doesn't know they're dead!"
The territorial knights exchanged anxious glances, no wonder the city gate was not attacked, but the castle was unknowingly controlled by the red vulture.
Lott said again: "Also, I found that many living people were tied up in the basement of the mill, but I didn't think they were important, so I didn't save them. If you have time, go and save them."
The corner of the prince's mouth twitched, and he arranged for several knights to deal with it. He walked up to Rose Green and opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. Norad was completely awake. He looked at his father, at Rosie whose hands were scissored backwards and whose neck was held by the blade of a sword, and was speechless for a moment.
The scene fell into a weird silence until Lott broke the silence: "Why is everyone silent? Do you want to lock up this warlock? If you want to interrogate him, can I apply for a bystander? I have never seen a trial Where is the criminal!"
Burris has become more and more used to this "embarrassment if there is Lott" situation. He walked up to the prince and handed him a pair of rust-gray shackles. The shackles themselves were thin and light, but the spells on them really worked.
"Your Highness, if you want to take him into custody, use this first. After leaving the range of the interference stone, he is still very dangerous. Wearing it, he will not be able to cast spells."
The prince was very grateful to the young apprentice. It seemed that Master Burris had chosen the right heir. After putting Rosie in shackles, the prince hesitated for a long time but couldn't decide how to deal with him, so he had to order the knight to take him to the cell.
When being taken away, Rosey kept his head down and remained silent. No swearing, much less justification. Prince Lanto didn't dare to look at him, but Norad kept following him until his figure disappeared into the dim porch.
